Attention TV/radio announcers:

Please broadcast the following as soon as possible:

     Here is an item of interest to swimmers.

     The Leisure and Cultural Services Department announced today (July 21) that the shark prevention net at Cafeteria Old Beach in Tuen Mun District has been repaired and the beach has been reopened.

     The beach was temporarily closed earlier for shark prevention net maintenance work. 

A number of public events will be held on Hong Kong Island today (July 21), including the Hong Kong Book Fair at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). Police believe that there will be more people in the vicinity of Wan Chai than usual.

As the dispersal location of the public activities held in the vicinity of Wan Chai will be very close to MTR Wan Chai Station, Police expect that the area near MTR Wan Chai Station and O’Brien Road Footbridge will be very congested, and crowd management measures will be implemented inside MTR Wan Chai Station. Therefore, when members of the public leave HKCEC, they may consider taking public transport at the bus terminus at Convention Avenue or Wan Chai Ferry Pier through the east side of HKCEC, or walking towards Causeway Bay direction.

Members of the public are advised to exercise tolerance and patience and take heed of instructions of the relevant announcement made as well as Police on site.
